Given the lack of difference between the 256mb and 512mb 8800GTs this won't be much more than a marketing stunt I'd imagine, just as with the HD2900XT. I'd be more interested in the 3rd-party cooler than the RAM, to be honest.

same, if the memory controller was 320-bit like gtx or higher than 256-bit it'd be beneficial too.

256-bit interface, makes it kind of pointless, seems like a company that doesn't understand too well what they're dealing with and just thinks "more is better"

Personally been waiting for Golden Sample boards, and here they are! Welcome to Gainward Europe

Although GLH is just an overclocked standard board imho, so a simple GS card is fine. GS boards are MADE for overclocking, so yeah, you know you're getting something decent.
